"In Repair"
John Mayer
(lyrics courtesty of www.sing365.com)

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

And now i'm walking in the park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
Oh i'm never really ready, yeah, oh, i'm never really ready
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there

Normally, with a question like this I would post something like Exile or Payback from Slayer...lol...but no...I am at a different point in life and right now, for quite some time, there are actually 2 songs that work for me.


Hey There Delilah
Plain White T's

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Kelly Clarkson


I’m strong
But I break
I’m stubborn
And I make plenty of mistakes
Yeah I’m hard
And life with me is never easy
To figure out, to love
I’m jaded but oh so lovely
All you have to do is hold me
And you’ll know and you’ll see just how sweet it can be
If you’ll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe

Someday
When we’re at the same place
When we’re on the same road
When it’s okay to hold my hand
Without feeling lost
Without all the excuses
When it’s just because you love me, you let me, you need me
Then maybe, maybe
All you have to do is hold me
And you’ll know and you’ll see just how sweet it can be
If you’ll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe

I’m confusing as hell
I’m north and south
And I’ll probably never have it all figured out
But what I know is I wasn’t meant to walk this world without you
And I promise I’ll try
Yeah I’m gonna try to give you every little part of me
Every single detail you missed with your eyes
Then maybe
Maybe, yeah maybe

One day
We’ll meet again and you’ll need me, you’ll see me completely
Every little bit
Oh yeah maybe you’ll love me, you’ll love me then

I don’t want to be tough
And I don’t want to be proud
I don’t need to be fixed and I certainly don’t need to be found
I’m not lost
I need to be loved
I just need to be loved
I just want to be loved by you and I won’t stop ‘cause I believe
That maybe, yeah maybe
Maybe, yeah maybe

I should know better than to touch the fire twice
But I’m thinking maybe, yeah maybe you might

Maybe, love maybe

I believe mine is an instrumental.

Jerry Goldsmith and Hal Shaper's "It's A Long Road" (from First Blood) has always been my theme tune. Another one is Elton John's I'm Still Standing and a theme for a dear friend who passed away several years ago is Bob Seger's Still The Same.

"You're still the same.........you're still damn good, no-one's gotten to you yet...."

However due to the almost constant power cuts that we have in South Africa (or as the supplier calls it, "loadshedding") the new theme song is "The Sounds of Silence" by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.

"Hello darkness, my old friend............."  :bouncegiggle:

Only one line sums up me:  I like big butts and I cannot lie.

Guided By Voices "Drinker's Peace"

DRINKER'S PEACE

At times I wish I were dead
Busy people dancing all over my head
This I value with every move they make
Real bad headache with every step they take


I get a contact buzz
Can't remember what the problem was
I find it hard to even care
Life was to real till you got there

My life is dirt but you seem to make it cleaner
Reduce my felony to a misdemeanor
When I feel sick you're an antibiotic
Organize my world that was pointless and chaotic

I get a contact buzz
Can't remember what the problem was
I find it hard to even care
Life was to real till you got there

My Stupid Mouth by John Mayer

"My stupid mouth has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see she was offended
She said well anyway..
just dying for a subject change.

Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess
with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good,
what just slipped out,
and what went wrong

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked, just wanna be funny
Looks like the joke's on me
So call me Captain Backfire

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now"


I'm Against It by The Ramones
"Well I’m against it
I’m against it
Well I’m against it
I’m against it

I don’t like politics
I don’t like communists
I don’t like games and fun
I don’t like anyone

And I’m against it
I’m against it
Well I’m against it
I’m against it

I don’t like Jesus freaks
I don’t like circus geeks
I don’t like summer and spring
I don’t like anything

I don’t like sex and drugs
I don’t like water bugs
I don’t care about poverty
All I care about is me

And I’m against it
I’m against it
Well I’m against it
I’m against it

I don’t like playing it fine
I don’t like the Vietcong
I don’t like Burger King
I don’t like anything

And I’m against it
I’m against it
Well I’m against it
I’m against it
Well I’m against it
I’m against it!"

Oddly these both fit me right now.

Government Warning- Cutting Room Floor
80 people died today
hurtled to their deaths on a runaway train
i turn to CNN on my tv
but george-f**king-bush is all i see

its all i f**king hear about

world news tonight, whats going on?
a man turned himself into a walking bomb
the president chokes and decides to golf
the real tragedy gets f**king lost

lost on the cutting room floor

who screwed who, and how and why
who really cares when people die?
a man turned himself into a walking bomb
and all i hear is "nicole and tom"

its all i f**king hear about

they print bulls**t, fluff and lies
and overlook every time an Iraqi dies
when the pope died its all i could f**king hear
i guess thats easier than living in fear
world news tonight, whats goin' on?
innocent people being blown apart
the real tragedy's forgotten at whatever the cost
and were f**king lost
God I wish that I could hide away
And find a wall to bang my brains
I'm living in a fantasy, a nightmare dream..reality
People ride about all day
In metal boxes made away
I wish that they would drop the bomb
And kill these c**ts that don't belong

Anti-Nowhere League - I Hate People
I hate people..I hate the human race
I hate peopleI hate your ugly face
I hate peopleI hate your f**king mess
I hate peopleand they hate me

My mother thinks that I am a jerk
Because I hate my bleeding work
Be like your daddy he's sincere
But don't be true ..or you'll be queer
I'm working at my 9 to 5
with boring c**ts that give me jibe
their talking of the love they give
they never givethey never give

I hate people.I hate the human race
I hate peopleI hate your ugly face
I hate peopleI hate the mess
I hate people..and they hate me

:wink:  :cheers:

OK, Rich, you need about four hours of the "Barney" theme song pumped into your head, followed by a nice, soothing Southern Gospel concert!

As for me . . . . probably
"Just another Manic Monday" at the moment,
with a bit of "La Vida Loca" thrown in,
and "It Is Well With My Soul" at bedtime.

I think I should put that in the "Whats your personal hell" thread. :tongueout:

Got The Time By Anthrax:
Wake Up, Got Another Day To Get,
Through Now, Got Another Man To See
Gotta Call Him On The Telephone Ay O
Gotta Find A Piece Of Paper
Sit Down, Got Another Letter To Write,
Think Hard, Gotta Get A Letter Just Right
Little Ringin' On The Telephone Oh No,
Gotta Write Another Letter
No Such Thing As Tomorrow
All We Want
Two, Three, Go!
Time, Got The Time Tick Tick Tickin' In My Head
Time, Got The Time Tick Tick Tickin' In My Head
Time, Got The Time Tick Tick Tickin' In My Head
Tickin' In My Head, Tickin' In My Head, Tickin' In My Head
If I, Tell Ya What I'm Doing Today
Will You, Shut Up And Get Out Of My Way
Someone Ask Me What The Time Is, I Don't Know
Only Know I Gotta Go Now
No Time, Tryin' Ta Get A Watch Repaired
No Time, Never Got A Thing To Wear
Little Ringin' On The Telephone
Oh No, Hear A Ringin' In My Head Now
No Such Thing As Tomorrow
All We Want
Two, Three, Go!
Time, Got The Time Tick Tick Tickin' In My Head
Time, Got The Time Tick Tick Tickin' In My Head

drinker's peace, my current summing up #1 hit

I've got three:

"Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" as performed by Eric Clapton:

Then I began
To fall so low--
Lost all my good friends;
Had nowhere to go.

I get my hands
On a dollar again,
I'll hang on to it,
'Til that eagle grins, because--

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket,
Not one penny!
And as for friends,
You don't have any...

"Money (That's What I Want)" as performed by Barret Strong

Money don't get everything, it's true;
But what it don't get, I can't use!
I need money.
Yeah, that's what I want.

"Loves Me Like A Rock" by Paul Simon

Now if I was the President,
And the Congress called my name,
I'd say "Now, who do--
Who do you think you're foolin'?"

Slobboerbone - I'm a Lazy Guy

I'm a lazy guy
I'm amazed at the way some people try and try and try
To erect and then perfect some kind of proof that they're alive before they die
Well not me, 'cause I'm a lazy guy

And I'm amazed at the way some people holler, fuss and run 'round
Like sime chicken with their head cut off or a bullet from a gun
They should all sit back, relax and maybe try and have some fun
I'd help them try, but I'm a lazy guy
And I must defer a life of labor to someone who needs it more
I'd much prefer to be their neighbor, just the guy who lives next door
Sit out on the porch with my crap guitar and my mason jar of tea, and you know why
'Cause I'm a lazy guy

And I'm amazed at the way you count my failings like some clerk
Like you're the saint in this relationhip and me I'm just some jerk
'Cause it's love we got between us, and relationships take work so why don't you try?
'Cause I'm a lazy guy

I'm a lazy guy
I'm amazed at the way some people try and try and try
To erect and then perfect some kind of proof that they're alive before they die
Well not me, 'cause I'm a lazy guy

Yeah I'm amazed at the way the days just slip on by so fast
Like ten thousand go-carts racing down the mountain of the past
If I had a bead on what I need to make the moment last I just might try
I just might try

Yeah I'm amazed at the way the days just keep on slipping by
And I got plans and dreams and hopeful schemes, enough to make you cry
I'm just waiting for that single perfect point in time to give 'em all a try
And I'm a lazy guy

 " I wanna live my life...."

Now the years are rolling by me, they are rockin' even me
I am older than I once was, and younger than I'll be, that's not unusual
No it isn't strange, after changes upon changes we are more or less the same
after changes we are more or less the same

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains


That just about sums up today for me.

I'm fixing a hole
Where the rain comes in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go.

- Recent storms have torn the roof/siding from a significant portion of my barn.  And it is raining/snowing/blowing out.
Joy.

Taxi
Harry Chapin

I've got something inside me
to drive a princess blind
There's a wild man wizard, who's hiding in me
illuminating my mind

I've got something inside me
Not what my life's about
'cause I've been letting my outsides tide me over
'till my time runs out

Thnak goodness that's all it is, Newt.  When I first read this I thought you were shooting heroin!

"Always know sometimes think it's me, but you know I know and it's a dream... I think I know of thee ah yes, but it's all wrong... that is I think I disagree..."

Thanks for the concern Rev, but no worries: drugs just aren't my style.  I confess I am one of those naive nerds who tends to take Beatles lyrics at face value.  For the most part.   :wink:

Down in a Hole by Alice In Chains (unplugged version) pretty much sums up my perspective on the world much of the time:

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb...in bloom

Down in a hole and I dont know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You dont understand who they
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who wont let himself be

Down in a hole, losin my soul
Down in a hole, out of control
Id like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied

Down in a hole and theyve put all
The stones in their place
Ive eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
Of my feelings beneath

Down in a hole, losin my soul
Down in a hole, out of control
Id like to fly but my
Wings have been so denied

Bury me softly in this womb
Oh I want to be inside of you
I give this part of me for you
Oh I want to be inside of you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers (oh I want to be inside of you)
In a tomb...in bloom
Oh I want to be inside...

Down in a hole, feelin so small
Down in a hole, losin my soul
Down in a hole, feelin so small
Down in a hole, outta control
Id like to fly but my
Wings have been so denied

This song has nothing to do with my life right now, but since it's Klaus I'll post it gratuitously.

"Blind" by M. Gira:

Now some of us are weak
And some endure
Some people live their lives
With a violence that's pure and clean
But i saw a man cry once
Down on his knees
In the corner of a darkened cell
And his pain meant nothing to me
But I was younger then
And young men never die
When I walked out in the sun
I was strong, clear minded
And blind

Now don't say a prayer for anyone
It doesn't do any good
And please don't ask me a question
You'll just be misunderstood
And if you could step inside me
You'd feel what hated brings
And if you saw with my eyes
You'd see what self deception means
I was younger once
And I created a lie
And though my body was strong
I was self deluded, confident
And blind
Now show some pity
For the weak of will
Because when we're drinking
We can never be filled
And show some understanding
For the lonely fool
Because when I'm drinking
I am out of control
No I was never young
And nothing has transpired
And when I look in the mirror
I feel dead, I feel cold
I am blind

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Mary Jane's Last Dance

I'm tired of screwin' up
tired of goin' down
tired of myself
tired of this town

The story of my life...sorta...

Matchbox Twenty - Unwell

"All day
Staring at the ceiling making
Friends with shadows on my wall
All night
I'm hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good
For something

Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why

(chorus)
I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

See me
Talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me

Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind

(chorus)

Talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
They'll be taking me away"

Huzzah, it's perfect.

Save the whales
Hey funky mama, save the whales
Yeah, pretty baby, save the whales
Save those big fat funky whales

Yeah, save all the whales
WO-OH!
And shoot the seals

Yeah, shoot the seals
'Cause the seals eat all the fish
Shoot the seals
Oh, I will never know how it feels

And if you think that I'm too funky for wantin' to shoot all the seals
Save your breath

The song lyrics the sum up my life is an instrumental.

Nothin's smellin' like a rose
But I don't care if no one's comin' up for air
I know nothin's gonna change my clothes
ever anymore
